Well spoken. When I hear people belittling others, no matter how "good" the reason, I think damn, have some respect. And also just, have some dignity. If you really want to influence someone's behavior, engage them, ask them honest questions, accept them. If you do not want to influence their behavior, leave them alone. Do not drag your own heart through mockery and judgment and scorn because it was done to you, or because others will find it funny. Those marks on your heart will be visible to all, and truly, you will feel them in your dark hours. "When you realize where you come from, you naturally become tolerant, disinterested, amused, kindhearted as a grandmother, dignified as a king. Immersed in the wonder of the Tao, you can deal with whatever life brings you, and when death comes, you are ready."
